factory stripe kit ?

was wondering if anyone had an 88 XR7 stripe kit that
came w/the header stripes? .the one that i had used on
an 88 in 88  did not have them in it and i had only used
the r 1/4 and door stripe. in the parts book it lists the
kit for deck lid 1/4's- doors and fenders. to be correct
i need to extend the header stripes to the inner edge
of the h/l's.3M has a grey that is just about perfect but
i would get a stripe kit if i knew they were in there.

Regular pin stripe works great, it will not buckle at the corners because none of the turns are too sharp.  If you don't have old faded pinstripe on your car now to guide you, maybe someone here can give you measurements of their factory pinstripe so you can use that 3M stripe and be satisfied.  I used Prostripe 'slate gray' on 4thqtr's car and the color of gray is a little lighter than I wanted but otherwise, I was happy with it.  Just don't apply it when it's balls-hot outside and your paint is 100+ degrees.  The pinstripe will stretch very easily and will be difficult to work with.  Also, it may shrink a little within a few days after putting it on so don't slice the ends until a day or so later.

the reason i asked is that years ago my car had the right fender replaced and the r door painted. they redid the fender and header
stripes in tape. i had a leftover stripe kit from working on an
88 XR7 in 88. it didnt have the header stripes in it. i have made
the header stripes from 3M tape and thet are all right. i was
just interested in getting the original stuff on and im not going
to lay out good money to not get a complete set. the 3M
19 tape is great for a match for the 88 grey.
